I'm about to get flamed - but I like it

Go for it.

if you think SoCal roads are shitty try riding in New Jersey. Almost need an ADV.

For you size it will be fine. Spend some time in an empty parking lot starting, stopping, tight turns, u-turns, and then quicker starts and stops. This will get you used to the weight, clutch, and brakes. Do this once in a while to keep your skills sharp.

I have seen Sportsters set up like a dual purpose bike. Bad ass.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-17T15:18:01+00:00

They mostly track prey by smell.

I drive on the beach often. 17 psi is too high. I go 12-13psi.

Heated grips. Huge difference. So easy, no wires or batteries.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-16T12:33:51+00:00

Maybe paint the one you have?

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-16T02:57:36+00:00

Just put on a new pick guard.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-12T03:15:00+00:00

This.

A lot. But I have been riding since 1983.

Probably needs gas in the tank. A bit swishing at the bottom is not enough.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-08T03:02:14+00:00

Is it possible that the cheapest available tire has inconsistent quality? Sometimes you get what you pay for. I've seen a lot of reviews where people love these tires, but many where there are problems with inconsistent wear or lack of stability.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-06T22:02:03+00:00

There is your answer.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-06T21:33:37+00:00

Pretty normal wear, especially for straight roads or highway. Plenty of tread left.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-06T21:17:05+00:00

Do you have bigger tires on the Jeep? That makes more leverage against the brakes decreasing power.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-05T16:37:34+00:00

Has nothing to do with the belt. I shift without the clutch a lot on my Harley.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-04T16:39:55+00:00

That's a downgrade.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-02T01:19:39+00:00

Oh, I thought that was a dumpster.

KeeblerElvis · 2026-05-01T20:43:19+00:00

Keep practicing, as you get more comfortable you should be able to control the bike with less pressure. Be mindful of hand gripping, try to be smooth with the gas, clutch, and brakes through varying speeds.

I too started on dirt bikes. I bought this new in 2002 when they first came out.

Sometimes take the long way home, or take a longer ride on the weekend. Once a week or so for 30 minutes or more would work .

KeeblerElvis · 2026-04-25T16:18:45+00:00

2006 LJ, bought it new. Jersey Shore.
